It's never easy being short. Some may call midgets. Being short has its advantage and disadvantage.

I have been called by many names like 'pendek', 'ketot' when I was young. At first it was annoying, but after a while, it became numb. Till today, my husband called me Cik Wabbit. He even put that name in his address book.

There are a few things that tall people will not understand how it feels being small or short.

1. It's hard to find the right size for us especially Asians. Many pants are tailored to cater the average height.

2. We're always being pick on as victims whether on the street or school bullies.

3. In some field, being short is totally a definite disadvantage. Sports like basketball or badminton requires to have a certain minimum height.

But the good side is:

1. Legroom in the plane has never been an issue.

2. You can shop at kids department where some of the price are lower than the adult ones.

3. You don't have to worry about blocking someone's view in the cinema.

4. Short people normally look younger than their actual age *point to self*
